"First Use of PATRIOT Air Defense – What Is This System?" [ ± 1min]

"#Ukraine confirms first #Russian jet downed by #Italian-#French SAMP/T system"
This is how the job gets done
If you're familiar with the #American #Patriot surface-to-air missile (#SAM) system, the #SAMPT is the #European analogue
The most important thing for #Ukraine today was that the #USA is prepared to share #intelligence information and, among other things, to deliver needed #Patriot #missiles. This has been achieved. If #russia rejects the #ceasefire, which is likely given statements from the #Kremlin, Ukrainians will no longer be the ones that #Republicans can point the finger at. A difficult decision for #putin, which could also lead to him tactically supporting a #Trump proposal to avoid falling into the trap.
Good morning tooters. It’s already nearly 8.30am & just shy of 25c heading to 34c again. Looking ahead it seems that today may be the last day above 30c - I hope - things do change! #Weather.
Didn’t sleep well last night, I think I should have left the aircon on as I was very hot & sticky even with the fan going.
I finally finished my Christmas book Patriot by Alexei Navalny & the epilogue had me tearing up. It’s just 3 days until the 1st anniversary of his death. His book is very much worth reading & a blunt eye opener to life & reality for people who go against Putin & the Russian regime #Books #Reading. #AlexeiNavalny #Patriot
Not a great deal planned for today. I will shortly head outside to mow my lawns & I know the state I’ll be in when I’m finished
This afternoon I will visit my sister in the rehab hospital now that she’s moved back here. I haven’t seen her in three weeks so looking forward to that.
Hope everyone has a great #Thursday, keep cool, stay dry & enjoy the day.
Deutschland schickt erneut "Patriot"-Systeme nach Polen
Um die Militärhilfe für die Ukraine abzusichern, sollen erneut deutsche Flugabwehrsysteme nach Polen verlegt werden. Die "Patriots" können Raketen oder Drohnen bekämpfen. Warschau begrüßt die Entscheidung.
“He’s actually rehearsing, in a sense, what he would be doing as head of state, which is what #Orban does, #Modi is doing, #Putin has long done…Just as there’s a divide now because of this #brainwashing about who is a #patriot & who is a #criminal about #Jan6 …In the same way, telling the truth in any area— #journalists, #scientists, … anybody who is engaged in objective inquiry, prosecutors, of course—they become criminal elements & they need to be shut down,” #RuthBenGhiat said.
Klaus #Johannis, President of #Romania, promulgated a law which provides for the delivery of a #Patriot anti-aircraft system to #Ukraine, on 5 September.
The law, approved by the Romanian government and both chambers of the Romanian Parliament, provides for the transfer of a Patriot anti-aircraft missile system in its most advanced configuration PAC-3.

#Romania's lower house of parliament approved a draft law on Tuesday greenlighting the donation of a #Patriot missile defence system to #Ukraine.
Romania, a #NATO member since 2004, shares a 650-km (400-mile) border with Ukraine and has had Russian drone fragments stray into its territory repeatedly as #Moscow attacks Ukrainian ports just across the #Danube River.
The government sent the law to parliament for approval on Monday.
I couldn’t live post… I was crying too much to see my screen. (There’s stuff or as media types say “color” about that, but … yeah, not about me)
But then there’s this:
“To those who never wavered, to those who refused to doubt, to those who always believed, my heart is full of gratitude.
“Thank you for the trust you put in Joe—now it’s time to put that trust in Kamala.
“Love, Jill”

#BarackObama statement is long so follow link:
Joe #Biden has been one of #America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend & partner to me. Today, we’ve also been reminded – again – that he’s a #patriot of the highest order.

BUT, ROMANIA TEASES POSSIBLE #PATRIOT TO #UKRAINE: The president of Romania has hinted that it could send an air defense system, but it must receive something in return so that its own defense posture is not weakened.
I am a #patriot, you know. Just not for a country. More for a planet. That all right?
#Spain and #Greece are pressured to give Ukraine their air defense systems as they are not under immediate threat, the FT writes.
Collectively they have over a dozen #Patriot systems, while Ukraine has at least 3. They also have S-300 systems which #Ukraine knows how to use well.

Bundeskanzler #Scholz hat der #Ukraine jüngst ein weiteres #Patriot-#Luftabwehrsystem versprochen, das besonders beim Abschuss von #Drohnen hilfreich sein soll. Aber was sind Drohnen überhaupt und wie verändern die Fluggeräte den #Krieg? https://www.riffreporter.de/de/international/patriot-im-kampf-gegen-shahed-was-sind-drohnen
Here's what we're reading today:
#Patriot is the only thing #Ukraine desperately needs to defend itself against Russia's incessant missile attacks, Kuleba told Politico.
These systems would also help improve the situation on the front lines, where Russian aircraft are using bombs heavily.
Would you be ready to fight for “your country” in a war?

#Germany announced a €1 billion weapons package for Ukraine.
The deal includes more #Gepard anti-aircraft guns, a #Patriot missile system, and much-needed ammunition.
The Gepard’s are useful for dispatching drones without the use of costly missiles.
Noch immer hält #Russland das Narrativ des von der #Ukraine initiierten Genozid am russischen Teil der Bevölkerung im #Donbas aufrecht. Viele "Interviews" und Geschichten wurden bereits debunked. Nun behauptet auch ein Ex-Mitarbeiter von RIA-FAN, einer Nachrichtenseite aus #Prigoschins #Patriot-#Trollfabrik, die Videos mit den "Opfern" seien gestellt, die angeblichen Opfer nur bezahlte Darsteller, die auswendig gelernte Texte aufsagten und dabei „eine Träne verdückten“.
